You mean - before perfparsed? Documentation doesn't speak anything about 
  perfparsed in method 4...

When I run perfparsed, I get log named perfparse.log.20041214.log:

2004/12/14 17:48:06 [perfparsed.c:171   3680  ] No module was loaded. 
Check the Storage_Module_Load config option.

I couldn't find anything about storage modul loading and method 4 in 
documentation.
And it doesn't create pipe.

Yes, what *my* command?

I have in perfparse.cfg line.
Service_Log =                "|/var/log/nagios/perfdata-service.log"

and in nagios_perfparse.cfg the following lines:
define command{
         command_name    process-service-perfdata
         command_line    /usr/local/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl 
/var/log/nagios/perfdata-service.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" 
"$SERVICEDESC$" "$OUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$PERFDATA$"
         }

define command{
         command_name    process-host-perfdata
         command_line    /usr/local/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl 
/var/log/nagios/perfdata-host.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$OUTPUT$" 
"$PERFDATA$"
         }

Its still not working for me.
